Leo, not to bad first time out driving a stick but you did make me smile a bit ha
I was taught the good old fashioned way, you have to let out the clutch and get the car rolling without the aid of any gas pedal depression and have always used this technique teaching my wife and daughters. If you can let out the clutch slow enough to not stall the car then your almost home free driving a stick. Then it just becomes a coordination drill.
But thanks for the vid's gents very entertaining for a lazy hazy Sunday

Thanks Luis. Your GT/CS is progressing nicely too!
Good method, but won't work on mine. Leo had the disadvantage of not learning on a Civic, but instead had to jump right into a wild Pony!
almost forgot..
Some scumbucket broke into the Taco lastnight and ripped out (literally) my sub box and Alpine faceplate, but not the deck (
).
Spent the afternoon with Kevin fixing things up and installed a replacement deck.
Went with an Alpine CDE-9874. I put some mojo on this new deck and if anyone rips this one off, may Ten Thousand Fists rain upon their face.

Did this happen while your car was parked in the condo complex? Any damage to the car?

Glad the Tacomobile came up on a nice replacement
This fists I'm assuming come from Chris?
Spent the day at the LA Auto Show. Interesting cars.
Opinion on the new mustang: Extremely happy with mine.
It's not as bad in person and I do hope the it sells, but I don't understand some of the updates. Nothing stood out as amazing. The camaro sure does look great! I hope I'm ready for the SS when it comes out, has some mean specs.

great cars guys 
Leo, don't fret too much about learning stick gotta remember the Tacomobile has an aftermarket clutch too.
My dad took me out to the desert and gave me the keys out in the nothing.... in the family Cheby Luv, figured that I couldn't hurt cactii.
You'll get the hang of it.
I'm generally against violence, unless it's funny or someone deserved it... In this case they deserve it and all you can dish out. Nothing pisses me off more than having a car broke into. If any bastard needs to have their knee-caps busted that scumsucking crack ***** does.

No real damage, just felt violated more than anything.
Thanks for the condolences guys.
